William Blake Walk


WILLIAM BLAKE'S LAMBETH: GUIDED WALK
Tuesday 4 May
6.30pm at Waterloo Library, 114-118 Lower Marsh; free; book
via 020 7926 1075 or readersandwriters@lambeth.gov.uk
I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the
charter'd Thames does flow. And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe. William Blake is one of
Britain's most world-renowned poets, artists and thinkers.
His life in Westminster is widely celebrated, yet his decade
in Lambeth from 1790 to 1800, when he produced arguably his
greatest works, is undervalued and little known. Discover
the traces of Blake's Lambeth with archivist Jon Newman. The
walk lasts one and a half hours. Part of the Lambeth Readers
and Writers Festival.

The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow

Updated Lincoln's Inn Fields Wikipedia page

I quite often revise wikipedia pages if I feel I have a moment. This one I did because the London Archaeologist had an article by Barbora Brederova about an excavation in the Fields, and it gave information not clearly listed on Wikipedia. If you want to read it here it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln%27s_Inn_Fields#History I included a reference to the discovery of a fragment of a fudding cup.
